Los Alamos High School will participate in the American Mathematics Competition Feb. 5 at Los Alamos High School.
The mission of the Mathematical Association of America in offering this competition is to increase interest in mathematics and to develop problem solving.
Teachers and schools benefit from the chance to challenge students with mathematical questions that are aligned with curriculum standards at all levels of difficulty.
Students gain the opportunity to learn and achieve through competition with students in their school and from around the world.
The AMC offers a contest with an emphasis on problem solving, not just computation. The problems are for all students with a mix of questions.
Top students can receive recognition through honors and awards, including the best in each school and the best in each state.
A $5 fee is due at sign-up, which will go through Nov. 28. Interested high school students may sign up in the Math Office, Room A212.
More information and practice options may be found at amc.maa.org.
